Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a well-recognized cause of deterioration in patients with myelomeningocele, with an estimated one-third of patients requiring spinal cord untethering in childhood. Tethered cord syndrome is defined as a stretch-induced

Purpose: Tethered spinal cord syndrome (TCS) is characterized by cutaneous attachments on the filum terminale that stretch the spinal cord, leading to musculoskeletal and urogenital sequelae. While the neurocutaneous associations with TCS remain

The authors investigated the longitudinal risk of tethering among adults with myelomeningocele who had escaped childhood without undergoing tethered cord release (TCR) and the factors that contributed to that risk. Female sex, prior Chiari decompression,
